me in their last scientific roundup, and,

Perhaps some Of you think this is no
sort of story. Idon't remember prom
ising to write story. l really don't
know how this writing will pan out in the
end, but am qnite sure it will be very
patchworky AS life itself is. As for the
pilot" there will be none.
During the last forty years I have
tramped with variety of people, If /
could skilfplly describe the scenes have
witnessed my yarns would prove very in
teresting; but I am poor story teller as
you, my render, will soon discover.
When was young fellow had a
three months tramp in England, During
that time had the luck-bad or good Ito
see famous prize-fght, at marlborough,
between two irregular military persons,-
Mr.. J. G. .Heenan and Mr.. Thomas Sayers,
l saw the big American and the little
Briton shake hands; saw the sickening
combat; the gloating cruel crowd of
mobile" Al nd gentle spectators; saw the
turbulent termination.
But have seen more sanguinary com
bats than that; for one of my tramps was
with Grant on the way to Richmond; an.
other-a brief one-was with La Cecilia,
in Paris in 1911; and another was in the
i iransvaal in a defensive campaign agains,
a gang Of plundering tramps, organized
and equipped by the British government
Now and then, during the course of this
yarn, l may try to relate some interesting
events that took part in during my vari

lOTlVtHats
The Fourth Of July is the birthday
of u Nation, and we always celebrate
birthdays at our house. There is the
paternal and the maternal, and ten
lively children. every one of whom had
birthdays, and it is good idea to
show their consequence and increase
their self-respect, and so we generally
invite some friends or kindred. and
have something extra good for dinner.
1t is u good long time since the Ma
ton was born, and it has had some
right sick spells, and u few years ago
it liked to have died, and it had an
awful hemorrhage; but it is all right
now, and so we are going to celebrate
it as usual.
But [ remember that about twenty
three years ago we didn't celebrate it
with much hilarity. In fact we were
not at home for company, snd not very
much at home at all, and didn't have
time to celebrate any thing, for the
foul invader was after It's, and we were
making tracks, and the tracks were
wide apart. Me and my numerous
and lovely wife and offspring were
! flying in haste over dirt road in q
one-horse rockaway and a two-mule
wagon, and it looked like we wer
